CLAIMS BY MUSLIM SAINTS AND SCHOLARS. On account of Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad's as claim that. God Almighty has given him various appellations, Abdul. Hafeez accuses him of suffering from hallucinations and being an imbecile and appends an extremely tasteless and vile caricature with the caption: 'I may be unstable. But, believe me,. I am versatile enough to fit any frame. All in one. " 149 Without going into a lengthy discussion to expose his thorough ignorance of Islamic philosophy, one would merely present, for his information, some of the claims made by several revered and venerable personalities in the history of Islam and put a question to him as to how versatile does he think these sages and saints of Islam are, and what in his opinion was the mental state of mind of these revered personalities. . It has already been shown that Hadhrat Ali ibn Abi Talibra, the fourth Caliph claimed to be 'the dot under the letter Bismillah, the Qalm, the Luh, the 'Arsh, the Kursi, the Seven Heavens and the Earths 150 while Hadhrat Imam Ja'far Sadiqh claimed: 'We are the prayer mentioned in the Book of God. We are the. Charity, we are the Fasting, we are the Pilgrimage, we are the. Sacred Months, we are the Holy Land, we are the Ka'aba, we are the Qibla, we are the face of God, we are the Signs and we are the clear Signs. '151. The famous Persian saint Hadhrat Abu Yazid Bustamith has also been shown to have stated that his 'attributes are hidden in the Unseen and he was not a man but the tongue of Truth and the speaker of the Truth Himself, i,e. , God in Person. 1152 He also claimed to be the 'God of great glory 153 and stated that 'there was none worthy of worship beside him.
